Humans have a desire, a need, to know and understand. Sometimes that desire turns into obsession. That can lead to great discoveries and success. It can also lead to disaster. We walk a razors edge with research of some things. But if we didn't walk that edge, how often would we find great discoveries? Perhaps not often, and maybe some things we would discover could lead to our demise. Interesting story. Well done.
this is the kind of person who makes a break through. - who creates - Tessla was this kind of scientist. . . they are driven - they are incredible. and hardly anyone understands. . . Great production - directing and acting fantastic. 🌷
Most scientists made sacrifices. She just sacrifices herself to get the neural map inside human brains. I think the idea of this short film is so related in development of research in laboratory
Great portrayal of the human condition,the need to make a lasting difference for humanities sake. We all carry this burden unknowingly,some discover it as some ignore it. You did an awesome work in this short portrayal of an instance. Fictional but all too true. Bravo!
Great actors in this short. I put it on while working on something else, but it was so good that I stopped what I was doing to turn off the lights and watch this intently. Really intense facials and editing. Nice work!
This is what I saw. A neuroscientist tries to find out how the brain link and work, but struggle to get funds. But the progress isn't good enough, and they need a good result to continue. So they crank the machine up and get a result, but the radiation is too strong, killing the mice afterward and burning the teacher's hand. The machine work but the radiation is too intense, like an x-ray but too strong So the student wants to stop the test and back out. However, the teacher can't wait because she is dying and the fund won't last forever. So she scans her brain prove the machine can work, but I believe she'll die because of that. The teacher walked into the wood knowing her life means something and her work will benefit the world, so she smiles with the radiation burn on her face. The machine proves it's worth, and her student can use the result to get fund and kept working on her legacy.
The pressure of getting good results, getting funds, and winning other competitors is intense in science. So ethic and safety vs progress, company funding vs public interests, company funding vs truth will away be a continuing tug war.
Brilliant and well done movie, but it is extremely thought provoking regarding scientific research and ethics. How far are we willing to go to get what we want? As I said extremely thought provoking indeed!
Having a degree in science it makes perfect sense to understand what the rewards and dedication that dictate what is needed for discovery! Madame Currie died doing just that!
Not bad! Lessons learned...be happy with some good results and stop with bad results...at least not on yourself! Kudos to all that worked on this film...I use to be a small independent film maker. Couldn’t raise the funds for my projects so I had to put in down. Makes me sad to go into my studio with all that equipment from iMacs,cameras, and thousands of dollars in software...love ‘pro tools” and “adobe Creator” with all the components.now all of it is on 1terabyte hard drive...I still write, short stories, scripts, and completed my 4th novel. So I still create. “Break a leg”...
Very well executed production. Pro level which these days is hard to find in bankrupt hollywood. Do not allow hollywood to steal and ruin you talents! Make your own way.
@@denisejustdenise I believe God did send her to change the world---- in her area of talent. She gave everything God graced her with. She was not perfect. Satan could never influence someone with as much commitment and brains that she was born with. Satans servants aren't that smart.
You guys are wrong. She already knew she was dying. She knew they could do it, but not if she died first. That’s why she was so driven. To sacrifice oneself for the greater good is not ego, it’s a very noble and unselfish gift to humanity.
I didn't get it whether she has succeeded or not what does that face mean at the end if she has succeeded then why did she break the device if not why was that glow on face with a crazy wink? ...... I didn't get the ending .

@@chrisdt2297 Yep, that's the way I took it. She was sick, Funding running out, mice was to small. She had faith in her design/invention/research. Nuked her self silly over time, then jumped under the machine her self. assistant comes in & reads the data & it all works, proven worth! which is why she has a look of somebody who just discovered something, just as she said. But cost her life but in her work she will live & allow others to live Life. Assistant inherits all her work & grants..
@@mopideviasset448 My guess is when your brain is radiated so badly, you will have a hard time getting up. She pulls the machine tries to sit up, break it. Swipe all the things on the desk to the floor. Stand up and bump into the boxes, then walk out.
Does the good doctor long to make this breakthrough discovery for the good of the human race OR, Does the good doctor wish to make this breakthrough discovery for the glory & recognition she knows will be bestowed upon her? !
I am surprised they kept using the same two mice over and over. and they should have made a move to cover the rest of the mouse body, leaving only the head free. I did not like the fact that no shielding was used to protect the doc and assistant when turning on their machine. I got the concept they were trying to achieve, but attention to detail would have counted a lot in this short movie.
Good writing while also some dramatic acting talent that's able to convey meaning in this story better than usual. The experiments of "Nectome" in Silicon Valley are somewhat in line with this science fiction scenario. Those are terminal patients, and the level of the scans upload the brain activity in real time immediately after pronounced dead, and it is a process uploading cyber-space data stream of the ionic molecular processes in computer data recording theorized to collect enough brain function pattern, structure and organization so that in the future AI will be able to synthesize an AI emulation copy of that functioning brain, a computerized clone of that human mind. But it is not at all a big program, as all the theory is experimental, and costs way over $10,000 per dying patient. It's only for those who have decided attempting this brain scan data collection seeking future invention to live again somehow, totally experimental with no guarantees and costing that much money. But at least 25 people have given that payment to try this. Nectome has proven in a laboratory trial accuracy of preservation and scan of a pig brain so that the molecular data is within nanometers variance of the original organic brain tissue. It remains to be seen if new AI technology such as "quantum computer" capability will make an image of that brain able to mirror something of the original living brain enough to actually make a real computer clone version of that functioning brain and mind. However, this is really a research project. What I notice is that the story doesn't really explain the application idea, but a new kind of life after death is pretty amazing to be a real science research project. This sci-fi doesn't go there, but everything about this story connects in dozens of ways to that one.
This has almost nothing to do with how actual science, incl. scientific discovery, works today. The film isn't necessarily bad because of that, it's just not about science.
I love how this ended! She turned herself into something like the predator monster but also an undead angel. That’s why she was glowing. She was shown going into the woods outside of the school because she was getting ready to hunt her prey. Her prey would be all the people that didn’t fund her but also all the right wing people that want to stop weed smoking. I think that she also found a super hybrid weed, that when smoked turns others into undead left leaning Ángel demons that make others smoke the weed and therefore keep the cause “alive”. Great plot, thanks.
The production and acting on this are excellent - the ending feels abrupt and puzzling. Some of these well done shorts feel a bit like half formed thoughts- maybe lots of ppl arent as engrossed by storyline as I am- more consuming the style of the thing? I don't need a tidy ending... but would prefer to know its more of a treatment/teaser than short film.
All Things For Fun Media . I haven’t heard the expression in ages, it used to be used for train travel but I suppose it might be extended to plane travel. It refers to late night/early morning travel that leaves the traveler with red eyes from tiredness....
Liked where it was going...Would’ve like to know where it ended!?! Uncompleted work shouldn’t be considered a short story, when a story consists of a beginning, a middle and a end. I appreciate a cliffhanger but I need substance, as to know which side of the cliff to hang off???
So we’ve gotten to a point where we smoke dope to make us better at what we do - next time I’m at work caring for your loved ones I’ll double toak a fatty ! Good luck !
TBH, I've enjoyed the comments more than the film. Some of the acting wasn't entirely convincing, and the storyline, characters, motivations…well... simplistic.

I do believe this one passed the Bechtel test. ;)
That joint looked like a Taylor made to me, perfectly rolled?
she looked more like the vaping kind anyway.
I thought that it was a cigarette, and that she had lung cancer. Since she gave her head a radiation dose, I'm guessing that she has a brain tumor.
